On her way back to the campus, she met Heather, and approached her. They began chatting, until, eventually, Heather took Bill to look at a strange puddle in a lot nearby.

That evening, that same sentient puddle, taking the form of Heather, confronted Bill outside the university building, having chased Bill from her flat. She immediately ran up to the Doctor's study.
